But I'm going to test the vdroop/vdrop mod = spikes theory tomorrow.

I think that trying to catch one of these spikes (reliably) with a software app
is going to be difficult, obviously not impossible but difficult. Fist off the sampling rate of most software volt monitors is very low >1sec. these spikes
probably last only a few useconds (micro second = 1/1000000th of a second).
So a ton of these spikes can/will occur undetected. It would be best If you had access to a good oscilloscope (I had one, but it's gone now , long story). Anyhow I'll try my best to catch one as well.
